I would love to share three powerful quotes by some great men with you. Their words encouraged me so much when I need help:

2. R. Miller

“God does not give His grace as He gives His sunshine – pouring it out on all alike. He discriminates in spiritual blessings. He gives strength according to our need. His eye is ever on us in tender, watchful love, and what we need He supplies.”

3. John Calvin

“The whole comes to this, that Christ, when he produces faith in us by the agency of His Spirit, at the same time engrafts us into His body, that we may become partakers of all spiritual blessings.”

12 Things to Know About Speaking in Tongues!

12 Things to Know About Speaking in Tongues!

To know about speaking in tongues is like acquiring a knowledge that tends towards infinity. Have you been side-lined in the church because you can’t speak in tongues? Are you confused about the subject matter? Or you are getting frustrated about Christianity because of this spiritual gift? Don’t worry!

Today’s sermon would clear the confusion and open your mind to understand the cogent facts to know about speaking in tongues.

What is Speaking in Tongues?

Speaking in tongues can be a temporary sign used by God upon you to show the unbelievers that you are from the LORD. It can also be a spiritual gift which has a permanent tendency in you to speak an untaught foreign language.

Controversy About Gift of Tongues

Many false teachings are everywhere about the gift of speaking in tongues and I am also careful not to contribute to the heresies online.

Every word I share with you today is based on the sincere content and context of the subject matter in the Bible coupled with my non-conflicting personal experience with the LORD.    

Note the following truth:

1. Speaking in tongues is solely controlled by the Spirit of the LORD.

2. There is nothing like meaningless language; you either speak an earthly meaningful language or heavenly one interpreted for you by the Holy Spirit. Don’t forget that the source of language starts from heaven. QUOTE Tower of Babel

3. If you speak and there is neither a human interpreter nor the divine Interpreter, it is wise to shut up so you won’t run into brain trouble.

4. It is absolutely wrong and ungodly to go learn ‘speaking in tongues’ in a school of theology or under the supervision of anyone.

5. The LORD chooses who would posses the gift, so it is not a mandatory ticket for everyone. However, it is not a factor for your entry into heaven.

12 Revelations to Know About Speaking in Tongues

1. The speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost were real languages of some tribes.

“Then they were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?”” (Act 2:7-8)

2. Speaking in tongues is a sign from the LORD, you can’t acquire it through the church doctrine or School of theology.

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.” (Mark 16:17)

3. None of the disciples of Jesus who experienced the Day of Pentecost made a sermon for compulsory “speaking in tongue”.

4. Paul mentioned another dimension of speaking in tongues which Apostle Peter referred to as confusing.

Paul says: “For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” (First Corinthians 14:2)

Apostle Peter referred to Paul’s statement: “as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.” (Second Peter 3:16)

5. I authoritatively share with you that Devil hears speaking in tongues, so don’t be deceived!

6. There are many false teachings about this topic, so don’t be desperate about this spiritual gift.

7. Speak in tongues is NOT the mandatory sign to show spiritual baptism. Many occurrences of spirit-filling without speaking in tongues were recorded. Please read: Act chapter 2:37-42; 8:26-40; 9:1-19; 13:44-52; 16:11-15; 16:25-34; 17:1-10a; 17:10b-15; 17:16-33; 18:1-11; and Act chapter 18:24-28

8. This spiritual gift is not a supremacy to others. Read First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 7 to 11.

9. It is an act of disorderliness when everyone is speaking in tongues in the church without any interpreter. (First Corinthians 14:26-29)

10. Paul’s wish is for everyone to speak in tongues and that is not God’s commandment. (First Corinthians 14:5)

11. When the Holy Spirit controls your private fellowship to the Lord, it is possible your tongue switches from the language you know to an unknown one. I experienced such, it is real! (First Corinthians 14:2)

12. Speaking in tongues was the first sign proving the evidence of Spirit-filled but it was not the only sign approved by the LORD.

It is obvious to know about speaking in tongues that it is utterance given by the LORD and not through learning a language sequence or saying rubbish. It is good to note that no misconception of Paul’s statement shall justify the bastardized model of speaking in tongues in our generation.

I speak in tongues and can interpret as well but I dear not abuse the gift if there is no inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

I encourage you to be focused in the LORD and appreciate the spiritual gift He gives to you. Please, don’t be desperate to speak in tongues because it might put you in more spiritual and psychological troubles you don’t deserve.

10 Secrets for Christian to be More Than a Conqueror!

To be more than a conqueror means you are a Christian who is exceptionally victorious in all the challenges and tribulations that come your way.

Are you going through a bitter moment and you thought the enemies had won? Or you’d done all you know best and the outcomes are worse than ever? Don’t give up! Today’s sermon would give you the solutions to be more than a conqueror.

Bible Verses For “more than a Conqueror”

Paul said: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

“As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,”

“Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.””

(Romans chapter 8 verse 35 to 39)

10 Wise Ways to Become Victorious in all Battles

1. Don’t celebrate sin because it’s a strong weapon of the Devil.

2. Always act the righteous characters to correct your confessed sins.

3. Your daily fellowship with the LORD through prayers, bible studies, meditation and worship songs cannot be overemphasized.

4. Hold your faith in the LORD very firm at the toughest point of bias!

5. Your thought is a powerful weapon for the enemies, so always renew your mind under God’s control.

6. Don’t copy the corrupt worldly style of getting results because it would backfire.

7. You would be more than a conqueror when you always acknowledge the Blood of Jesus upon your life.

8. When battles come, always recite the testimonies of Jesus and the word of God.

9. Resist the devil when he comes gently or forcefully.

10. Equip yourself with the armour of God as described by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians.

“Therefore, take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith with which, you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:13-17)

These powerful steps helped me to be victorious even when I was at the valley of death, the power of God made me more than a conqueror. I implore you to follow the steps and you shall be a winner!

10 Ways to Overcome Pride on the Christian Race

If you can overcome pride then you have the devil under your feet! It is a common phenomenon that at a point in your Christian race the spirit of pride would love to wine and dine with you…

Since the only gift from pride is destruction then today’s message would teach you the steps to take to overcome pride.

How to Overcome Pride

1. Always remind yourself that you are a servant who takes order from GOD who is your Master.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.” (Matthew 10:24)

2. Regular reading of the Bible would help your conscious state of mind and you won’t fall into the temptation of pride.

3. One major step that helps Christians from a prideful lifestyle is the meditation on the Word of GOD every day.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

4. Set your mind every morning to live your day in a way that Jesus Christ would have done.

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:5-7)

5. You can’t overcome pride if you always compete to have the new brands of worldly things such as; cars, clothes, cosmetics etc. which does not glorify the name of the LORD.

6. Engage yourself in evangelism to the lower-class, it humbles me when I do such.

7. If you notice any sign of pride then memorize the Bible verses that you think can best help you to resist it.

“Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:4)

8. Do not joke with your personal relationship with the LORD! Always devote time to pray, worship and praise Him.

9. It is important you check and balance yourself daily and repent from any ‘sin’ that might look ‘harmless’ to you. Anyone with active sin cannot overcome pride!

10. Three major instruments of pride include; money, position and fame. So, if you have them kindly subject them to bless the poor without broadcasting on the media. This step would make you overcome pride and your wealth would also increase in heaven.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:19-20)   

I pray you overcome spirit of pride as you follow the steps above in Jesus’ name.
